    May not be widely accepted, but it is accepted in a good chunk of the world.

      Bigotry is still active, just different groups. Racism is definitely still active, just different groups (look up stats on violence against Asians or their chances of getting into the Ivy Leagues). Human nature is so strong, I admire and doubt your optimism.

      Sexism being actively obsolete in 20 years is possible and would be a good start.

        Yes, I know they are still active, that’s kind of the point I was making. I’m saying if things go as they look to be, then hopefully they won’t be in 20 or so years. If they are just as active as they are now, or even more so, then hopefully asteroid 2044 takes care of the planet once and for all.

      Yeah, I don’t see any of those things changing. I’ve read too many history books and they’re traits of our species, not minor blips.

          They won’t.

          The traits you describe are as old as the human race itself, and even with the vast knowledge we now possess, they’re still endemic to the human experience. They’re built into our DNA.

              That’s probably true.

              The upside is that it’s going to, and most if not all of the human race will die out, but whatever comes next might be better than we were.
